*It's what I've been keeping in mind since this new year began and I can already tell you that I've been able to control myself in some aspects I couldn't control before. I just hope to keep doing this through the year too :P I've started this year with an extreme sensation of optimism. I have that feeling that this year will be better then those before (since I've finished University) despite the measures addopted by the portuguese government pointing the other way around.So anyway another year gone but my Christmas manicures weren't all shown and as I do them every year I think it doesn't make much sense to accumulate last year's with this year's and so here I leave my 7th and 8th 2010 Christmas manicures.

Esta manicure foi inspirada em três manicures: esta de Katrina's Nail Blog, esta de A Day In The Life Of Dollface e esta de JulieG713. Visitem as suas páginas porque são espectaculares e as suas donas são muito talentosas!*This manicures was inspired by three other manicures: this one at Katrina's Nail Blog, this one at A Day In The Life Of Dollface and this one at JulieG713.

Estas duas últimas fotos são só para mostrar que os pequenos hexágonos brilham bastante!*These two last photos are only to show that the little hexagons shine a lot!

Esta foi a manicure que usei na véspera de Natal... mas durou pouco tempo perfeita porque logo de seguida deu-se o jantar e como ainda não tinha secado bem esborratou toda! Ainda bem que tirei foto antes ;)*This was the manicure I used on Christmas eve... but it didn't last too long because right after painting my nails we had to go to dinner and as it wasn't dry enough it smudgered all over! Gladly I took photos before ;)

P.S.: Como escrevo o meu blog em duas línguas vou passar a usar cores diferentes numa e noutra língua. Como algumas expressões poderão ser iguais para as duas línguas (como por exemplo os nomes dos vernizes), destacarei essas expressões com a cor preta!*P.S.: I write my blog in two languages so from now on I'm going to use different colours for each other. Sometimes some expressions may be the same for both languages (like the name of the nail polishes), in that case I'll point that out by writing those expressions in black!
